notable item/thing

different from any other letter I have troubled you with
I remain in doubt with regards to your decision on my late subject
he who has nothing has nothing to expect
without being hurt by a deniall
charge against the public for care of the public stores
prior claims of yr. Friendship
this place small as it is would be very convenient to me
I venture to ask it
